"AUX" is a reserved filename (well, device name to be precise) in MS-DOS... I guess XP preserves this for compatibility (!), even though it's long since been superseded. As far as I know, it's an alias for "COM1", e.g. the first legacy serial port.

Some applications seem fine dealing with such filenames, but anything going via Windows Explorer and the like will cause the hanging problem.
